The One-two-One design studio from RMIT University in Australia will bridge the gap between London and Melbourne by producing full-scale installations for "twin" sites across both cities, exhibited as part of the London Festival of Architecture and the State of Design Festival in Melbourne. Using laminate sheets reclaimed from the local waste stream, the projects revisit the post-war “Make Do and Mend” culture of creative reuse and material harvesting, finding alternative applications for a highly discarded architectural product. Designed in Melbourne and shipped overseas, each project devises a way to digitally reprocess the sheets into flat-packable assemblies which conform to standard international luggage dimensions and weights. The ready-made architectural cargo is scheduled to arrive in London in June as part of the International Architecture Student Festival.
